  • Ten Ways SharePoint 2010 Will Impact Your Notes Migration

    Here is a link to my new white paper, hot off the presses: [ link ] Abstract: Many organizations are moving from Lotus Notes/Domino environments to Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint and Office. However, applications that are migrated from Notes to SharePoint may need to be rebuilt – typically an expensive and time consuming process. Even then, the new applications may not function as well as the legacy ones. But with the release of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010, things have changed. This paper discusses 10 ways that SharePoint 2010 will change the game for enterprises of all sizes who want SharePoint to replace or enhance their Notes environments. You will learn about major platform and functionality improvements and discover how SharePoint 2010 simplifies...

  • Migrating to the SharePoint Online platform (BPOS)

    If you are talking to Microsoft about getting off of Lotus Notes, I have no doubt that you are hearing about, and probably seriously considering, Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), also referred to as Microsoft Online (MSO). There is a Dedicated version (BPOS-D), which give large enterprises the opportunity to have private hosted servers dedicated to just them, and a Standard version (BPOS-S) for everyone else. SharePoint Online is, of course, part of these suites. There is a ton to say about the Dedicated and Standard offerings, most of which I will save for another day, but here I want to focus on migrating the content of your legacy Notes applications to the cloud. I have not blogged about it much, but I have been deeply immersed in this issue for over a year now – working...

  • How to migrate to SharePoint Wiki pages

    Notes Migrator for SharePoint has allowed for migration to SharePoint wiki pages for over a year now. Wiki pages were of mild interest in SharePoint 2007, but as described in my last post [ link ] they have evolved into an awesome target choice in SharePoint 2010. For example, you may have noticed that the Site Pages library in many of the new 2010 site templates is now a Wiki library. The following steps recap the basic steps and some of the advanced options for migrating Notes documents to Wiki pages. These steps apply equally well for SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 (but SharePoint 2010 requires the use of Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.3.1 or higher). Basic Steps If using the Designer client, select a source Notes database, QuickPlace or QuickR room, or Domino.Doc library and then select...

  • SharePoint 2010 Unattached Content Database Recovery: Not Recovery, Just Export

    When SharePoint 2010 early sneak preview was first published by the product team, one of the big wow’s were the new granular content restore capabilities, available right there in Central Administration. While this is certainly an improvement compared to earlier version of SharePoint, I still cannot call this functionality “granular content restore”. Let’s walk through [...] Read More...

  • Cool stuff in SharePoint 2010 that Notes customers will love: InfoPath everywhere

    One of the biggest barriers to moving large numbers of Notes applications to SharePoint is the cost of rebuilding the complex applications. As covered previously [ link ] this cost is often overstated and can be mitigated by a good understanding of how to leverage out-of-box SharePoint features and code reuse, but it is still a very real issue. SharePoint 2010 contains many advances that will dramatically reduce the cost of application development and (even better) will allow tools such as Notes Migrator for SharePoint to do a lot more of the work for you. We will cover things such as improvements in declarative workflow, dynamic scalable views, ASPX pages and offline capabilities in other posts. But first I want to talk about InfoPath. InfoPath is, of course, Microsoft’s primary solution for...

  • Cool stuff in SharePoint 2010 that Notes customers will love: Go Offline

    I remember the SharePoint Conference three years ago where SharePoint 2007 was announced. I was in the Proposion Software booth (we had not been acquired by Quest yet) and had a chance to talk to a lot of Notes customers who were adopting (or at least looking at) SharePoint. There was a great deal of excitement there as most people were seeing SharePoint 2007 for the first time and they were very happy with what they saw. At the time, the two biggest reasons that people felt they could not move their Notes applications to SharePoint were (1) the lack of document level security and (2) the inability to implement even simple workflow logic. That week, the consensus was that Microsoft nailed both of these in a big way with SharePoint 2007. Sure enough, the next few years saw a new wave of Notes...
